I see.  Without mule is okay.  You never did any faults.  This problem
is caused by a bug in FLIM 1.14.2.

mel-b-el.el uses the macro `as-binary-process' which must be provided
just before compiling.  It will substitute the source form:

	(as-binary-process BODY)

to the new source form:

	(let (selective-display
	      (coding-system-for-read 'binary)
	      (coding-system-for-write 'binary))
	  BODY)

and then, the byte-compiler will generate the byte-codes in the .elc
file based on the new source form.  However, not only mel-b-el.el but
also some other modules do not load the module "pces" to pick up the
macro definition at the compile time.  So the byte-compiler will make
the byte-codes corresponding to the following form:

	(funcall 'as-binary-process BODY)

The byte code won't be changed even if the module "pces" is loaded.
I will try to fix this, later.
